If you have hormonal acne, you HAVE to try EstroSense. I've been using it for about 1 month, and I've already noticed a HUGE change.

Here's my story:

I started getting acne as a young teenager. I've been on and off of a million different medications - topical and oral. It continued and may even have gotten worse as an adult. I've had good years and bad years. On good years, I found that the birth control pills made a big difference. But I would either find a side effect develops over time, or I would just quit taking it because I was concerned about what effects it was doing to my body for taking it for so long. So I would take it for a period of time (usually at least 1 year), and either switch to a different birth control or stop completely. I should also mention that I've tried Accutane 3 times. It worked until about 3-5 months after I've finished the process.

I am now 33, and recently got married. So... you know how they say the first year of marriage is usually the hardest??? Well... let's just say my hormones have been out of whack, and I've been STRESSED OUT! Ever since we'd been living together, I had been breaking out WORSE than when I was a teenager. It was all over my chin and jawline (indicator of hormonal acne) - not small ones, HUMONGOUS ones. My poor husband was probably thinking, "Wtf!!! What happened to you? This isn't what I agreed to!!!" (LOL! Just joking! He would never say that... out loud!)

Even though I'm still on birth control, I obviously don't think it really has any effect on my acne. At least - not this particular brand (Marvelon). So I tried natural products. I was really skeptical, but I figured I didn't have much to lose.

I'm now taking:

EstroSense - 2 per day

Evening Primrose Oil - 2 per day

Cod Liver Oil - 1 tsp per day

I know it's only been one month, but this is the time of the month I'd been expecting the zits to pop out. I actually have two itty bitty tiny ones on my chin, but it's hardly noticeable.

The downside to natural products: IT ISN'T COVERED BY MY HEALTH INSURANCE! I wonder if there are similar products out there that my doctor can write a prescription for, so I don't have to pay.

Until then, I will just have to suck it up and pay it. Or maybe I can cut out the cod liver oil? I don't know.

But you know, it's totally worth it. I even feel healthier. Oh, and I should mention that my chest area has also filled out. BONUS!

Did you have oily skin, and if you did, has the Estrosense helped? I've been taking Spironolactone for hormonal acne, which got rid of my oily skin, but today I was told by my doctor that I had to stop taking it. I'm trying to find something that I can take instead.

You can buy it at a natural food stores. It costs anywhere between $30-35. I take 2 per day as advised by the owner if the store i went to. The bottle says to take more, but this seems to work well enough for me.

That doesn't surprise me, since it's mostly DIM and Calcium D-glucarate. DIM + natural progesterone has cleared me completely (I had some bad cystic acne plus all other kinds.) It took a good 3+ months but adding DIM did the trick. I don't take Estrosense, however... I take DIM Plus by Natures Way.

I thought Estroblock can boost testosterone in some women, though. Isn't that the case?

Current regimen: garlic supplements & turmeric [as needed, for antioxidants, both are AMAZING for skin], Enzymedica gluten blocker/ digestive enzymes [as needed], nicadan [the only vitamin presciption I take -1/2 per day works well], DIM (needed), inositol (very rarely nowadays - no longer needed as my PCOS is balanced). Also trying herbs for adrenal fatigue. I try to simplify as much as I can. Don't take more supplements than you need....try one at a time and be patient.

The supplements that really helped me when my acne was at its worst: inositol, DIM [not as frequently now!] digestive enzymes [don't need them every day anymore, only on cheat days], herpanacine & vitamin C with rose hips/ low acid [not every day], regular sun exposure for vitamin D3, superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme supplements. NOTE: I do not recommend DIM for long term use, and I do not recommend hormonal creams without doctor supervision.

If you look up estroblock on amazon, it's in the product description... not sure if it's true, everyone's body reacts differently.
